Size: 22 x 25 cm
A stunning revised edition of one of Anthony Browne's best-loved picture book stories.
🇬🇧 Description:
Mr Piggott and his two sons behave like pigs to poor Mrs Piggott – until, finally, she walks out. Left to fend for themselves, the male Piggotts undergo some curious changes!
"Mr. Piggott and his sons are a male chauvinist lot who, outside of yelling for their dinner, don't exercise themselves much around the house. When Mrs. Piggott finally tires of the endless chores that sandwich her workday, she leaves the menfolk on their own, with a note saying, 'You are pigs.' With the cooking and housework untended, they soon turn genuinely porcine, a transformation Browne foreshadows with pig faces on the wallpaper, vases, fireplace, phone.
Reviews
As in most of Browne's art, there is more than a touch of irony and visual humor here. Fun to read aloud."—Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.
